 Great Simple Alarm Clock May 17, 2009

I bought this to replace my old alarm clock. It has a sleek design that takes up very little space. It has two alarms and can be set to radio, beeps or songs and has an adjustable snooze setting. The built in radio works well and there's a sleep setting so that if you like to fall asleep to the radio you can have it automatically shut off after a certain amount of time.
It has an adjustable brightness level, but I found its default/highest level to be suitable. At that level it's bright enough to see in the dark, but not bright enough to keep me up. The alarm is easy to wake up to and gradually gets louder on the beep setting. It automatically set itself to the correct time and date as soon as I plugged it in, all I had to do is set the time zone. It has a DST feature that can be turned off or on.
The only feature lacking is the ability to customize the alarm for either weekdays, weekends or both. It's not a big deal, especially with two alarms but it would have been nice. Overall I'm very pleased with this alarm clock.
BASIC BUT GOOD June 15, 2009

The item description is very accurate. If you want a dual alarm clock radio similar to those from 10 years ago, that is exactly what you will get and that is why I ordered it. Nothing fancy, just basic but with the Sony dependability. There are a few nice things though - the time is preset, options for the dual alarms sound, adjustable brightness, battery backup, very easy to operate and the AM radio actually works well, unlike other clock radios. This clock radio has no frills but for the price, it is good and dependable.

Love the very large LED display and automatic time settings. Power outages should no longer require resetting of the clock. Item turned out to be exactly what I wanted.

I was looking for a bedside clock with radio that had an easy to read display. I don't use the alarm, but I love the clock. There are 3 light levels and I can easily read the low level without glasses. The sound quality is not superb and the buttons for the radio are somewhat difficult to find by touch, but overall for a $16 radio it's great.

We live in the country and every other day, out of the blue, we loose power for seconds and sometimes when a storm hits for longer than that . That means having to reset the time in our old Sony Alarm Clock more often that we would like to. Our bedroom is huge and we have this clock on the dresser on the opposite side of our bed so that we both can see the time when we wake up in the middle of the night. The 1.4" LED display came in handy for that matter, also the fact that you can adjust the brightness of the display (yes, I tried the Sony ICFC138 to no avail because the numbers weren't displayed bright enough at night (let alone trying to see the time during the day). The color of the numbers is green just like we wanted (since we don't find the red color soothing at night). This unit suits our needs perfectly but would be even better if some other features could be perfected (like sound quality) or added (like the bi volt feature).
